Virtualization has consolidated resources and provides secure, compliant cloud management
Reviewed on Jul 07, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is used primarily to provide users with a seamless working environment without losing connectivity by offering a solution that virtualizes their computing environment. It is used for cloud and virtualization computing, allowing multiple virtual machines based on different servers, with each acting as an independent machine with its own operating system. It consolidates hardware and helps in reducing IT costs.
Most people are going for a SaaS solution with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth , but in some cases, such as one petroleum institution, they had regulatory binding that prevented them from deploying their data on SaaS, so they created the entire setup on-premises. It depends on the client itself and the requirement. If it is a banking institution, most of them are now on SaaS and don't have a problem. Very few insist on keeping it on-premises because data is normally secure whether it is hosted here or there.
What is most valuable?
Customers do utilize a security and compliance framework with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth because larger institutions won't move forward without it. They choose VMware to ensure a tested and foolproof secure environment. They comply with regulatory standards that go along with it, such as VMware Cloud Foundation , which is a significant product with trust policies and all, making it quite good.
The CloudHealth Unified Dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by allowing the IT team to manage the environment effectively. It shows if updates are done, whether there is downtime, or if there is a delay, indicating the reason for it. Dashboards are essential; without them, you are sitting in a mirage, not knowing what is happening. With the dashboard, you can quickly identify issues, such as red points and different types of curves indicating problems. This allows us to act on the problem at the very initial stage rather than waiting for the entire system to stop.
What needs improvement?
The weak points of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth are that while the product is quite capable, cost can be an issue at times. The learning curve is steep because people like to take their own time to understand and roll out things, which creates an overhead in getting people to understand the system. There are also bottlenecks within operations where we face challenges that can lead to delays in implementation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been familiar with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth for almost two years, while there were people who have been using it for definitely six, seven years or more.
How are customer service and support?
Technical support from VMware, or better to say Broadcom, is usually quick and prompt. I don't encounter significant issues since they provide 24/7 support based on the SLA with the client, ensuring the response times are matched accordingly. If the agreement is for four hours, eight hours, or the next business day, responses usually come. We don't typically face situations where institutions are halted from working. Broadcom often comes up with quick rollbacks or informs us if something requires a patch or updates, and usually problems won't happen until instigated by local issues. If local engineers cannot solve the problem, they log a case for assistance from Broadcom or Omnica.
What about the implementation team?
From my side, we needed only a team of three people to deploy VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth in such a large banking environment facing around 100 different departments. The rollout was similar; they had different clusters in the bank, and within those clusters, there were different branches and different zones. We started doing one by one, and we completed all of them. The first one was difficult, and then we began training the users with a train the trainer type of concept. We trained the key members of the team to help us out. There was a project management team from our side and a project management team on the other side working together. We had a steering committee and standard meetings, so it went fine.
What other advice do I have?
This project initially started with a 16-week timeframe, but it ended up taking nine months to complete. The initial four months were dedicated to discussions and getting approval. We had only planned 15 days for UAT, but it took two months to complete. There was significant delay in that one. They wanted to close the project and quickly roll it out, so we had an urgency to finish things faster. Now that the solution is live, they have customized reports, dashboards, and other things, matching the regulatory bank's reporting requirements. We are trying to align the system's attributes with the required reports from the State Bank. It was time-consuming, but eventually, we were successful in completing the project with a certain delay.
There are different departments that get involved in the requirements for VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, and as we go for the implementation, we have to seek permissions from them. We have to get some ports opened up for accessibility. However, SaaS is an elegant solution because it is available and always updated. On-premises requires newer updates to be installed manually. SaaS is always a better solution; newer versions or new insights or new features come in automatically. You don't have to wait for a newer version for getting the new things. Most institutions are now going for SaaS, and it is faster and less difficult to implement. You just roll it out and do configurations, and that's it. Very few customizations are done on SaaS. If you go on-premises and people are old school, they will go for a lot of customization, new screens, additional forms, and additional reports. That will clutter a lot of things, and getting newer upgrades becomes a problem since it won't work until you port everything to the new version. Things get delayed, so SaaS is much easier. The rollout is easier if you have a large institution base; for example, we were doing an implementation of an ITSM software for a bank with 33,000 users. We went with SaaS and it went perfectly.
Policy-driven management is part of the implementation of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. The audit and security team will not let you move forward until it conforms to both their requirements and compliance.
I measure the effectiveness of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth resource optimization using various metrics, including the framework where the entire VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware vSphere Foundation are working. Both platforms have interoperability metrics which conform to the standard requirements and suggested guidelines from VMware and Broadcom, and we follow the same.
I have given this review a rating of 9 out of 10.

Improves cloud cost control and accountability but could explore further enhancements
Reviewed on Nov 11, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
This product was used for financial management in my company because I was working for a FinTech. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth 's use case is related to financial control and resource governance across multi-cloud environments, including reducing waste, optimizing spend, and driving accountability.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of this solution include the drive for accountability because we can allocate cloud costs back to specific business units or teams through showback and chargeback. Additionally, reduced waste is achieved because we can identify unused or underutilized resources and receive recommendations for resizing instances.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth 's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers. All of this in just one dashboard is very helpful to improve agility and resolve issues, especially for the workloads.
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth helps manage compliance risks by preventing threats, stopping attacks, detecting threats, and securing workloads or endpoints where customers will be using the endpoints. The positive impact on my organization is substantial because we can reduce waste, optimize expenses, drive accountability, and secure the budget from unnecessary cloud costs.
What needs improvement?
I do not see any flaws in VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. Everything is fine for me. The performance is acceptable, and the layout is acceptable. It is very user-friendly, and there is nothing that needs to be improved from my perspective. The pricing of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth could be better, but for the service being provided, I believe the price is fair.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability and reliability of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth are good because this solution makes it very easy to optimize costs. All companies want to optimize costs when using cloud solutions. It is easy to get lost on cost when using cloud services because some companies acquire things they do not need and pay for them unnecessarily. With VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, I can help optimize services and identify the pain points where cost reduction is necessary. Regarding accountability, it is also great.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is great because all components are very user-friendly, and the open-source code is also user-friendly. The scalability is good. The backbone of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth is scalability; it is very easy to scale. It is very easy to adapt.
How are customer service and support?
I do not often communicate with the technical support of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth because I have never needed to call them.
I have used the official documentation, guides, and manuals for this tool for examples involving installation and customization. Overall, the documentation is good. They have all the acronyms and glossary. It is very interactive, with examples on how you can do this or that, and there are the do's and the don'ts.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use a different solution for the same use cases before VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. We were using other kinds of cloud products, but they were very different from VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth.
How was the initial setup?
I did not participate in the initial setup of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth. My company was very happy using this, and they did not buy another solution, so I believe they have seen benefits using this VMWare solution.
It is difficult for me to share examples of the return on investment I have noticed because this is a management department issue. They do not share those kinds of things with the employees; otherwise, the employees will ask for more money. I do not have those records.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
When trying to choose a product for these use cases, I was only looking at VMware because I am used to using VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth, and I do not know much about other vendors. I prefer this one.
What other advice do I have?
VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's analytics in understanding cloud usage trends and expense forecasts is normally more for marketing staff and analyzing production servers in my case, so I am not very experienced on that point.
The metrics used to measure the effectiveness of VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's resource optimization features are programmatic because I am a developer, and we do some calculations according to the requirements. With those requirements, we can create a programmatic enablement to calculate the metrics. It is a very complex procedure to explain in a phone call.
Some companies may not be capable of affording this product. I would rate this review a 7.

A good observability tool for costs in the cloud

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth helps us understand the cloud costs of our customers with a deep drill down to each service, linked account, etc. It also helps us visualize the data using dashboards and view some cost savings recommendations
What do you dislike about the product?
In my opinion, VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth is lacking a central view of cost savings recommendations for many services. Although there are recommendations for commitments and a few others, there is no central location to view all recommendations (for example: EIPs that are not assigned to any instance) and this makes it a bit harder to understand how to save on costs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
VMware Aria Cost powered by CloudHealth is solving the problem of having a centralized view for all of our (and our customers) cloud costs with an option to filter and visualize the data in many ways.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
"All of our operations have been streamlined and automated by CloudHealth. We are able to easily create custom policies given the fact that CloudHealth reduces risk and expedites our decision-making process. The detailed and accurate visibility also allows continuous cloud usage monitoring and performance analysis, leading to more precise capacity planning and better resource utilization for our organization. We can simply monitor performance with CloudHealth and compare it to our provisioned capacity, allowing us to maximize asset value."
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to personalize the fast bar on the left-hand side to make it simpler to go to sites I usually visit would be my main complaint about the app, if I had to select just one issue. The screen periodically lags for a few seconds, and it has previously stalled on me for a while. I've always had network and performance issues. In fact, it is the most useful tool I have ever used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because misconfigurations can be found using security rules and customized policies, loudHealth offers real-time visibility into the security posture of our cloud. Additionally, the platform gives me the ability to prioritize concerns based on numerical risk levels and offers visual context for swiftly analyzing and fixing issues. I appreciate that CloudHealth creates reports and tables that provide a fantastic visual picture of cloud consumption trends and assist in locating any areas where cloud usage charges are exorbitant.
